Under the Affordable Care Act’s changes, the revenue cycle management process is becoming more complex and requiring new technology, processes and strategies. Innovative Healthcare Systems is a company focused on adding the technology, processes and strategies to address the increasing complexity. The company is headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Decker explains how the Affordable Care Act has affected his company’s clients and healthcare professionals alike. He says, “With the expansion of the different types of exchange products — you’ve got the gold, silver and bronze plans — each one of those have an expanded benefit. Many of the patients that are getting involved and buying those exchange-related products don’t understand the complexity and the nuances within those individual benefit plans. So they show up for their services, and they expect to have a certain type of benefit or a certain type of service, and they have a high deductible or they have a co-insurance or they’re not allowed to go to this hospital or that hospital. It’s very complicated for patients. And it’s complicated for the health plans, as well as the hospitals and providers’ offices because they’re not designed to educate; they’re designed to take care of patient needs.”

JL Haber, Vice President of Programming for Worldwide Business with kathy ireland®, states, “Innovative Healthcare Systems is a leader in their field. As they deliver the technology, processes and strategies to address the increasing complexity of healthcare systems and revenue cycle management, we love watching their journey unfold. We couldn’t be more excited to feature Innovative Healthcare Systems on our show.”
